Another newbie....

I am a newbie to the site. I am not a newbie to GPS' though.

I used to own an older Magellan GPS, and used it quite frequently to go on trips, and a few geocaching hunts. I traded up to a Dell Axim x50v with the GPS add-on and used it very frequently until I updated it from Windows Mobile '03 to '05 and the bluetooth became very flakey and unreliable, so....time to upgrade again.

I bought and received a nuvi 660 just last week and found this site while hunting down POI's. This is great. The wife and I were planning a Virginia Winery trip in a few weeks, and I've been spending all my free time hitting Google to find and map the wineries and also plotting them on Streets and Trips so we can figure out the ones we can and can't do on our extended weekend trip. I was dreading printing out the maps and directions from place to place (the wife is a terrible navigator), and trying to keep up with them all. When I found the Virginia Winery POI, I was like "NO WAY!!!, Somoene already did this??" and sure enough, someone mapped all but one that we're going to visit.

So, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Since loading that one, I've loaded the TN Wineries, Tourist Guides for TN and VA, Blue Ridge Parkway, Theme Parks, and Drive-IN Theaters POI's. Now to become active or subscribe so I can load the Redlight Cameras POI.
